I may have mentioned in the past that I am not an adrenalin junkie. In fact, I may be the antithesis of an adrenalin junkie. So I won't be travelling on this road any time soon. A couple of friends will remember my panic attack just driving up Grandfather Mountain.
Jan sent us these widely circulated photos. They are identified as being shots of a road called Stremnaya in Bolivia. I tried to blow up the photos to get a good look at a license plate, but the blow-ups were just too fuzzy. Or else my astigmatism is getting worse. A little further investigation, corroborated by comments, indicates that they are actually the Guoliang Tunnel in China (and yet they persist in having population problems). The tunnel was hand-carved by villagers to transport goods and goats. I doubt they envisioned this.
Hah! I get what you said there about astigmatism. Sometimes, I don't know if it's my blurry vision or the picture is just pixilated. Well, that was years ago. Good thing my optometrists have prescribed me with the right glasses. Anyway, those roads are just treacherous. I'm glad that we don't have those here in Indianapolis.
